I like your images, keep up the good work. - - Sadi Carnot 11:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I load Your Image:586px-Hemicarcerand ChemComm 1997 1303.jpg on commons, cause I used it on Polish Wikipedia in article about Donald Cram. Can You check license and description? Thanks Margoz 05:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I do believe that including molecular self-assembly as one of the nanotechnology fields is justified. Nanotechnology follows two routes to control of matter on the nanoscale: one is a materials-based viewpoint which centers around nanoparticles, the other is a chemistry-based viewpoint which relies upon molecular recognition to control the arrangement of individual molecules. DNA nanotechnology [1] is probably the most relevant example of this. See also Nanotechnology#Simple to complex: a molecular perspective and Top-down_and_bottom-up_design#Nanotechnology.
Additionally, this article itself says, "Many biological systems use self-assembly to assemble various molecules and structures. Imitating these strategies and creating novel molecules with the ability to self-assemble into supramolecular assemblies is an important technique in nanotechnology."
I want to hear your views first, but I do think that the nanotech navbox should be restored.
Antony-22 02:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree that molecular self-assembly and molecular nanotechnology are not the same thing, but there is also a difference between " molecular nanotechnology" and " nanotechnology," the latter being much (much) broader. I guess the best indicator of whether molecular self-assembly fits under the broad nanotechnology umbrella is whether the people actually doing the former consider themselves to be part of the latter. The fact that you don't brings at least some doubt to that proposition. I personally work in DNA nanotechnology, which is definately considered to be nanotechnology, and is also a form of molecular self-assembly. It's possible that other forms of molecular self-assembly are not considered nanotechnology or that it depends on whom you ask. I tried to cast a wide net for inclusion in Nanotechnology#Current research and the navbox since self-assembly is one of the tools generally associated with nanotechnology, but it is a hazy area.
As for navbox style, I personally prefer the sidebar form since it places more emphasis on how a group of articles is structured by placing it in a more prominent position. I don't think there are formal guidelines on which should be used in what situations, except that sideboxes are generally used for article series whereas footers are used for broader collections of articles. The nanotech navbox is kind of a hybrid, the "Topics" block contains direct sub-articles of the nanotechnology article in that all of them were forked from that article at some point, whereas most of the "Selected subfields" articles were not (the exceptions being Nanomaterials recently and Molecular nanotechnology a very long time ago). Perhaps both forms should be made available for use depending on how it relates to the main article. Antony-22 10:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I have created Template:Nanotech2 as a footer alternative to Template:Nanotech. This way the "actual" article series can use the sidebox while related fields can choose between them as appropriate. It would be great to see Molecular self-assembly expanded; I'm actually kind of curious myself how it breaks down since it's tangientally related to but not vital for what I do. I'll contribute to the nanotech section when I get the chance, and if you want a self-assembly navbox give me a holler... Antony-22 10:00, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
I will be more careful in the future. Technically, the policy does not require a proposal but recommends it "if you are uncertain of the merger's appropriateness." I guess I should have realized that since in this case neither article was a stub, there might be questions about a merger. I'd still like to hear your objections though. My impression from reading both articles was that a nanofactory is essentially a collection of molecular assemblers; I didn't get a sense of how they were distinct concepts deserving separate articles. If this impression is inaccurate, I'm happy to redress the issue. Antony-22 10:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I see you've removed the clean-up tags. I've re-added them for the second time, because despite your assertions otherwise, the article itself doesn't actually contain the information. As I see you're interested in chemistry, I think you may be distorted by your own perspective. You're not writing for an organic chemist, or even any kind of chemist at all, but for the general audience. Without even saying what the reaction is used for, have you really said anything that approaches usefulness? In any case, it's simply not helpful to remove clean-up tags. Work on improving the articles. When you just remove them, well, it doesn't convince me you've actually looked at the situation fairly. FrozenPurpleCube 03:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I had a look at the picture peer review at Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Molecular gyroscope. I've never seen a 3D molecular modeling program that made SVG files, and none of the normal coordinate files can be read by Inkscape, which is what I use to draw vector graphics. The best solution I can come up with is to simply redraw them (by hand). As an example, I made Image:Aspirin.svg to demonstrate how it can be done. But as the amount of 3D depth increases, it gets really tedious to draw by hand, with all the correct shading and perspective. If you can send me a .mol file or the .pdb coordinates for the molecular gyroscope, I might be able to give it a try (no promises). For most small molecules I wouldn't even bother using ball and stick models (let alone redrawing in vector form) to represent the structure, but I think the 3D structure for the molecular gyroscope is sufficiently interesting to make me want to give it a try. I would also encourage you to download inkscape (which is free), and then open up a variety of vector images in it and explore them to see how they're put together. The program is pretty easy to use, and I am now drawing things I never would have dreamed of attempting before. Jeff Dahl ( Talk • contribs) 06:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know I made a mistake in that structure. I really shouldn't have been trying to do something like that which involved thinking as late as it was - I think in the future, if I can't sleep and want to be on the computer I'll simply search for vandalism to revert. I removed the incorrect images from the page (it was based off of a structure I found on another website, and I copied rather than trying to think, which turned out to be a bad idea, as both structures are now wrong.) I'll redo the images and verify that they're correct before putting them back in the article. Thanks for the heads up, CrazyChemGuy ( talk · contribs) 19:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I was reading Chemistry-A European Journal, 1996, 2, 989-991 and I find no evidence of a x-ray structure encapsulating nitrogen (teh word nitrogen does not appear in the article according to a search). The paper is concerned with methane and ethane discrimination and the x-ray structure discussion suggests that the encapsulated molecule is most likely methanol:
"In addition, both dimers contain a low-occupancy disordered guest species at the centers of the cavities. It was not possible to determine the identity of this species. We believe that the species in the cavities are methanol molecules that hydrogen-bond to the IC faces of the carbonyl oxygens of the glycoluril units from the inside"
